Post October 7: Jewish Theater Identity and Hard Conversations w/ Ari Axelrod

What if the most powerful way to confront antisemitism… is by celebrating Jewish joy?

I sit down with actor and singer Ari Axelrod, who shows how Jewish representation in theater goes far beyond casting—it’s about telling the complete story of a community’s history, resilience, and contributions. From calling out double standards in the arts to creating space for genuine, inclusive conversations, Ari blends personal stories with practical ways to stand in solidarity.

This one’s thoughtful, courageous, and full of heart.
